    Information Required to be Posted at Each Premises

    General information posted

    The following information must be prominently posted at each premises: 

    • organization name; 
    • license number and premises permit number; 
    • a statement that illegal gambling is prohibited at the premises; 
    • the problem gambling helpline number (1-800-333-HOPE) at each point of sale; and 
    • a clear and legible sign stating the amount of any cash prize and the fair market value of all merchandise prizes to be awarded for each game played without a paddlewheel table.
    House rules posted

    The minimum size for the house rules sign is 11” x 17”. The house rules must be clearly visible at the point of sale. 

    The house rules governing the conduct of lawful gambling must include all organization policies that affect the play of the game, including any restrictions in addition to those imposed by Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.181, on who may not participate in the conduct of lawful gambling at the premises. 

    In addition, the following must be included in the house rules: 

    1. All paddletickets on a card must be sold before the paddlewheel is spun. 
    2. The paddlewheel must make at least four complete revolutions before the pointer stops. If the pointer stops directly on top of a peg, the number preceding the peg is the winning number. 
    3. For paddlewheels conducted without a table, the winner is not required to be present when the paddlewheel is spun, but must claim the prize by the conclusion of activity for the day.
    Name of paid employee Each paid gambling employees must clearly display his or her name when conducting lawful gambling.


    Information Required to be Kept at Each Premises

    LG847 and distributor invoice

    The following must be kept at each premises: 

    • a current site inventory record (LG847) that lists each set of paddletickets kept on the premises; and 
    • a copy of the distributor’s invoice for each set of paddletickets in play and for each unplayed set of paddletickets stored on the premises. 

    An organization may use the LG844 Perpetual Inventory to meet this requirement for the LG847 if: 

    • the organization only has one permitted premises; and 
    • the LG844 is maintained on site. 

    The organization may keep a separate site inventory list for paper pull-tab games, paddletickets, and tipboards.
